Atty. Rafael L. Almacen is the first lawyer of Alimodian. During the term of Mayor Simeon Salarda, he was delegated by the Municipal Council of the town to settle the boundary dispute between Alimodian and Cabatuan which started in 1919 and won the case.

About Me

The author is a native resident of a small picturesque town of about 30,000 people located at the heart of Iloilo, a west-central province in the Philippines. Ever since getting out of college and seeking opportunities elsewhere, travel and adventure is part of his agenda. Before embarking for a journey that will take him to some of the world’s most luxurious destinations, he appreciate and admire the beauty and resilience of the countryside, of the stillness of the frontier that feels like living forever in peace and happiness. As the title suggests, it tells how someone feels living in his ideal place. The author hopes to elicit appreciation to living in a place so simple and quiet yet magnanimously serene and blissful.
